Life is funny sometimes.

A few years ago I came across this figure at Walmart/Target. At the time, money was really tight and I kept on putting it off and I would later regret it.

With Peter Cullen’s passing, I was thinking of that figure lately and how it got away.

So you can only imagine my shock to find it at our local Ross and marked down no less at a reasonable price.

Life is funny sometimes and I’m happy to have the figure as another way of remembering Peter Cullen.

Til that day, til all are one.

These legendary words were spoken in 1986 by Optimus Prime in Transformers The Movie and we awaken today that are hero, Peter “Optimus Prime” Cullen is no longer with us and has taken his place in the Matrix of Leadership.

Peter Cullen is a legendary voice actor who’s done many roles during his long career as a voice actor but he’s most well known for as playing Optimus Prime in basically anything Transformers related.

He IS Optimus Prime and there’s a story of how his brother, a Nam Vet, that influenced him on how to portray Optimus and you can feel it with his various performances. Be strong enough to be gentle, be humble, be courageous.

Optimus Prime is my favorite Transformer since getting into the franchise proper back in 2005. He’s that character archetype that I gravitate towards and I have fond memories with the character whether it was the shows, the movies, or the comics, Optimus Prime has always been my favorite Transformer and I always dreamt of meeting Peter Cullen.

That dream was realized in 2023 at GalaxyCon Ohio as I got the chance to meet Peter Cullen and chat with him a little bit. I told him it was an honor to meet him and how Optimus Prime is my favorite and how he always reminded me of my late Grandpa. The moment I told him that, I can see it really touched his heart as he was taken aback when I told him that. I will always hold onto that memory and reflect upon that every time I think of him.

I wish I could have posted this picture under better circumstances but alas, here we are.

I’ll miss you Peter Cullen, though our meeting was brief and I wish I got to talk to you more, I’ll treasure those memories I have of you whether it be your voice work or when I met you.

Rest In Peace, Peter Cullen.

Til that day we meet again, Til all are one.

I’m a day or two late but happy Ultraman Day!

Today marks a special day of sorts for today is the 57th anniversary of the first ever appearance of the giant of light himself, Ultraman.

Ultraman for those who don’t know is a Tokusatsu franchise similar in the vain of the Godzilla films which shouldn’t be too big of a surprise as the creator of Ultraman, Eiji Tsuburaya worked on the Godzilla films in the beginning. Basically Ultraman is a series in which a giant of light descends from space and merges with a human, most of the time, and together they protect humanity from the wide variety of monsters and aliens that threaten the earth.

Ultraman was a series I always wanted to get into but due to a then legal battle over the international rights, the vast majority of the Ultraman franchise never hit the states. That is until the announcement in 2019 that the legal battle was over and that Mill Creek Entertainment acquired the license for Ultraman.

Now at first I was cautious about this as I wasn’t a fan of how Mill Creek used to do their DVD/Blu-Ray releases of various shows and movies in which they used paper sleeves instead of proper disc holders. But thankfully things changed as I later found out they went with traditional disc holders and I’m thankful for that.

So I continued to put off buying them until around Black Friday of last year when one day I decided to check out Walmart’s site of all places to see what the prices were and I nearly dropped dead at how low the prices were as most them were going UNDER TEN DOLLARS. So needless to say, I bought pretty much all of them and got myself one hell of a Christmas present.

Now I had some previous exposure to Ultraman in the past with my first being Ultraman Tiga via the Fox Box back in the day and from the earlier Ultraman dvd sets of the original series. Those two I watched a good chunk of episodes but never truly delved into the franchise due to the rights dispute. I did get some of the action figures from the Ultra Act Line nearly ten years ago as they were much cheaper than the other detailed and highly articulate giant monster action figure line, SH Monsterarts.

However last year when I got those Blu-Ray and dvd sets, I decided to randomly watch Superior 8 Ultra Brothers and the Mega Monster Galaxy show and movie along with various Tokusatsu videos from Kaiju No Kami and Soundout Productions and after watching all of those, my life was changed forever and I gained a new obsession that I’m still super into, seven months later.

I love the Ultraman franchise and it’s characters and it’s quickly growing into one of my all time favorite franchises as I have so much fun with them and on a personal note, the Ultraman franchise actually helped me get through a hard time in my life. I won’t go into details but I wasn’t in the best of places but Ultraman managed to be one of the two things that helped me get through that period and helped light the way through the darkness.

Not only that but in May of this year, I actually got the chance to meet Ultraman himself, Bin Furuya and needless to say I was glowing after that experience.

So Happy Ultraman Day Everyone, we’ve been celebrating 57 years of Ultra Goodness and it seems like these giants of light aren’t going away anywhere anytime soon.

So who’s your favorite Ultraman and what’s your favorite Ultra Series? Later on in the week, I’ll be posting my some of mine.

Movie of the now.

Last year I finally decided to look into the He-Man and The Masters Of The Universe franchise and after watching a few episodes of the original Filmation series along with the 2002 series, I was almost immediately enamored and hooked on this franchise.

I’ve truly become a big fan of this franchise and I love watching and learning everything I can about it, from the mythos to how everything came to be.

However if there’s one thing I’ve dread watching it’s the first live action film which is more infamous than famous.

From a terrible critical reception to a lot of changes made due to budgetary reasons, to them stopping filming the movie numerous times due to them running out of money to fund it, to this film almost being solely responsible of not only killing the Masters Of The Universe franchise but also the toy company Mattel as well. The history behind the making of this film that also led to the studio making it, Cannon Films, going bankrupt is a fascinating one and this film seems like it’ll be one huge hot flaming mess.

However over the years, it’s gained a cult following and people seemed to warm up to it. I know my late friend Jeron talked about it back in 2016 and my friend Tyler told me to check it out when we recorded an episode of his podcast a few weeks ago.

So I’m curious to see how this film is and how I’ll enjoy it. My girlfriend knows almost nothing about it outside of what I mentioned but she’s been with me on my whole journey with the MOTU franchise and it’s another destination we’re going to experience together, especially with the new movie that’s out and I am super excited for that one!

So without further ado, let’s go and watch this movie and see how it is.

Meant to post this yesterday.

My Girlfriend and I finally saw Super Mario Galaxy yesterday and we had a lot of fun.

So another big gaming announce that came out of the blue and it also involves fighting games and giant monsters.

It was revealed today that Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee is getting remastered.

This is something Godzilla fans have been begging for years now and our wish is being granted and not only is it a new remastered but it appears we’re getting new characters too!!!! That or Mechagodzilla 74 is an alternate skin.

First Ultraman Zero in Gigabash and now this, it’s a good day to be a kaiju fans.

My only complaint is the lack of a PS4 release as unfortunately like a lot of other people I know, I don’t have a PS5 yet and they’re still too expensive for me to afford.

But one day I’ll get this.

With that said, what do you think of this news? Which character are you most excited to play again and do you think this will lead to Saves The Earth or possibly a new Godzilla fighting game?

So out of the blue, it was announced today that Gigabash will be getting 2 new fighters and not just any fighters as it was revealed we’re getting BOTH Ultraman Zero and Ultraman Belial.

The timing couldn’t be better as I was just getting ready to watch the last 2 episodes of Ultraman Geed which features both characters.

While I’d like a DLC 4 pack and Ultraseven and Zetton to be included, I’m not complaining as I love both of these characters and it’s perfect timing too with the big 60th anniversary push we’re getting this year and the best part? We only have little more than a month until its release on July 9th.

I know I’m hyped for this and I’m happy to see Gigabash continue to get more DLC.

So what do you think of this? Which Ultraman heroes and villains would you like to see added to this and what other Toku franchises would you like see added to the game?

Show of the now:

We finished Masters Of The Universe: Revelation last night and we really enjoyed it, so now we’re on Revolution.

I know very little about this show outside of the following:
It’s a sequel to Revelation, Teela is now voiced by Melissa Benoist, He-Man has his battle armor, and my favorite MOTU villain, Hordak, is the big bad and he’s voiced by Keith David.

Outside of that, I know nothing about it but I believe it’s more He-Man focused and I heard the response to this one was much better than Revelation but the episode count is much shorter. So I’m curious how this will play out with that short of an episode count.

All I’m hoping is my girlfriend and I will enjoy it as we’ve been enjoying out MOTU adventure.

So let’s go and watch this series.

So we got our first look at Lex’s Warsuit in Man of Tomorrow and it looks awesome!

The Warsuit has gone through various designs over the years, both in the comics and in live action and animation and while it’s not the classic design which I like a lot, the one Lex wore during the black lantern ring story arc, or the one from Supergirl (CW), it still looks awesome!

It’s got the big bulky look from when Loeb and McGuinness introduced it in Superman/Batman and I love it!

I’m looking forward to this sequel more and more with each update.

So what do you think of this armor? Which design from the comics is your favorite and which live action suit is your favorite?
